Description

In this episode of The Social Circus, I dive into the importance of entering awards, especially for women in business. I reflect on my own experiences, sharing how I’ve gone from being a finalist several times to winning my first major award this year. It wasn’t an overnight success, and I discuss how persistence and believing in yourself are key ingredients. Many of us hesitate to put ourselves forward, thinking we’re not good enough, but I encourage you to challenge that mindset. Whether you're early in your journey or further along, entering awards can boost your confidence, visibility, and credibility in ways you may not expect!

1. Awards can significantly enhance your business’s credibility.
2. It’s important to overcome the mindset of "not being good enough."
3. Persistence is key in being recognised—many stumbles happen before success.
4. Women, in particular, need to get better at promoting their achievements.
5. Entering awards can open doors you may not even realise exist.

1. "For every success story, there’s usually a couple of stumbles behind the scenes."
2. "This year was my year, but it took a lot of effort to get here."
3. "Women, especially, are really bad at tooting our own horn."
